Star Wars III-Revenge of the Sith
This installation to the Star Wars Saga was not the worst nor the best. It failed to live up to the hype, it’s somewhat boring, plus the characters are semi-believable. Anakin’s character was poorly portrayed as he just randomly switched to the Darkside without a real reason. General Grievous …
American Wedding
I just watched this last night even though I have seen it before, it still made me laugh. It lives up to the name of American pie and American pie 2. It’s funny throughout the whole movie. It also has the same type of humor of American Pie. Most …
Amelie Movie
When i first sat down to watch Amelie I was skeptical. I did a study abroad in FRance so I understand French, but watching a two hour movie in French could get tiresome. I really enjoyed this film. The story is about a girl, Amelie and her quest to …

“Ernest Scared Stupid” (1991 Film)

The Hollywood Mom’s Mystery movie

This is a 1998 comedy film directed by the Farrelly Brothers and starring Cameron Diaz, Ben Stiller, and Matt Dillon. The movie is technically a romantic comedy but it’s not boring like many of this type, this movie is about Ted (played by Ben Stiller) who falls for Mary …

National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age
We randomly picked a movie to watch on our netflix player last night and ended up with National Lampoon’s The Stoned Age. When we started watching it, I figured it would be like that old movie Caveman, which was funny but pretty lame. It turns out Caveman was a …
Eyes of a Stranger
Eyes of a Stranger is a Richard Dean Anderson film from 1992 that I’ve never seen, most likely because I’m really not into murder mysteries that are scary all that much, and that’s what this film is suppose to be. Since someone gifted me with this recently, it …

Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
Another scary movie I have watched with my boyfriend is Messengers 2: The Scarecrow. The movie starts out with a young woman, running in a corn field; her face distressed and scared. She was the killed; the movie not showing who had killed her.
The movie then transitions to a …

Mr. Brooks, Bruce A. Evans Movie
At first, I think, a movie with the thriller ‘Old Star’ like Kevin Costner and Demi Moore as the main stars? It feels like déjavu to 90s years? I rather disparaging. 90s era is an era where films Thriller many good outstanding (Silence of the Lambs, Single White Female, …

Swordfish
Swordfish is one of the cooler action movies of the last decade despite a couple setbacks. One of it’s producers worked on the Matrix, so it’s got a similar kind of wild, high-tech, fast-paced feel. Now it’s definitely not on the same scale, but it isn’t a rip-off either. …
